Shingletree Pond is located in
the 40,036 acre Hammond Pond Wild Forest. The trail to
Shingletree Pond is known more as an access trail under
I-87 that takes hikers into a remote trail less section
of
Dix Mountain
Wilderness. It is popular for bushwhackers looking for a
true wilderness adventure in the Adirondacks. The 0.8
mile hike to Shingletree Pond is a great little leg
stretcher for those looking for a quick hike to a scenic
little pond.

Campground. There is a small parking area located at Courtney
Pond (pano above). The GPS coordinates are N44 02.396
W73 40.892 of the parking area. There is a DEC Trail
Sign located along US 9. The trail passes by the end of
Courtney Pond before turning left and heading south. The
trail joins an old road at 0.7 miles, then climbs to
reach a rather long culvert under I-87. The trail ends
after the culvert upon reaching Shingletree Pond at 0.8
miles.
